Properties
- WaveguideMeshPort object has property Face.

Property List

BoundingBox: A box indicating the bounding box of this entity. (Read only Box). (Read only Box)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Part: The mesh part that this entity belongs to. (Read only Mesh)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete (): Deletes the entity.
Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
ReverseElementNormals (): Reverses the element normals of the mesh face.
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
